[O] use of 'system in ox-odt.el
Hi, When I export-and-open to odt, org doesn't open the resultant odt, even though I get a message: Running xdg-open /home/matt/RLG231/RLG231Syllabus.odt...done org-open-file works fine on links in an org buffer, and an anser on the following stackoverflow page suggests the issue is in ox-odt.el: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24434854/emacs-org-odt-export-as-odf-and-open-odt-outside-emacs Below is a git diff for the suggested change: diff --git a/lisp/ox-odt.el b/lisp/ox-odt.el index 163f580..80650b1 100644 --- a/lisp/ox-odt.el +++ b/lisp/ox-odt.el @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ (?O "As ODT file and open" (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-odt-export-to-odt t s v) -(org-open-file (org-odt-export-to-odt nil s v) 'system)) +(org-open-file (org-odt-export-to-odt nil s v) )) :options-alist '((:odt-styles-file "ODT_STYLES_FILE" nil nil t) (:description "DESCRIPTION" nil nil newline) I'm not sure what 'system does in the changed line -- the documentation suggests a non-nil argument here will result in the odt file being opened in a buffer rather than in a browser. Nocolas, others, does this look like a bug? sorry I don't know more. M

Without your change it doesn't open it at all. BTW: My Emacs also doesn't open html exports in Fx files when I use C-c C-e h-o. I never tried to debug it though... Rasmus -- 9000!

That's what I would suspect given the doc string for org-file-apps and the default value of org-file-apps-defaults-gnu on my system. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

On my Fedora machine, the system-wide settings all look like this: text/html; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s ; copiousoutput If yours doesn't, you could override it in ~/.mailcap.

The same happens when I mark the > file in dired and says & xdg-open. From the terminal it works fine. You are on Gnome, rt? I think there is a long standing "bug" in gvfs-open (which is called by xdg-open). See the following: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-07/msg00279.html https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652262 I came across this a long time ago trying to investigate why xdg-open didn't work when running asynchronously like your example. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/93430 Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
